"Kakashi, Danzo, let's go!"

Seeing the Konoha Chunin further and further away, Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a faint smile. He then ordered Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō to give chase. However, Sarutobi Danzō's composure was nowhere near that of Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi, both veterans of battle. So, while Uchiha Yue was giving the order, only he and Hatake Kakashi went to pursue the fleeing Konoha Chunin, leaving Sarutobi Danzō there in a daze.

Gazing at the Sarutobi Danzō behind him, Hatake Kakashi shook his head with a troubled expression and asked, "Moon, is it really alright to bring him along?"

"Have no idea."

Hearing Hatake Kakashi's words, Uchiha Yue shook his head helplessly as well, saying, "With Danzo's level, there's no way he could stand out in the Chunin Ninja Exams. If it weren't for the Third Hokage insisting on it, I definitely wouldn't have wanted to bring Danzo to the Chunin Ninja Exams. Oh well, since it's the Third Hokage's order, we'll do as he says. Just, we absolutely cannot leave the ingredients and materials we bought with Danzo; it's not safe!"

"Okay, Yue, then you'll be in charge of keeping the ingredients and supplies we bought!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Hatake Kakashi nodded heavily and said, "You're the strongest, so you should be able to protect those materials and ingredients. Besides, even if someone tries to ambush us, I can handle them. I just hope those guys who come to ambush us aren't too weak! That would be pointless!"

"Hahaha, Kakashi, you're so confident!"

Seeing Hatake Kakashi's confident demeanor, Uchiha Yue chuckled a few times before seriously pursuing the Konoha Chunin.

Without a doubt, the Konoha ahead Chunin hiding his true strength; otherwise, how could the Genin participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams have caught up Chunin the Konoha?

So, Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi quickly caught up Chunin the Konoha ahead and obtained the ingredients they needed from him. However, Hatake Kakashi originally intended to take all the ingredients Chunin the Konoha, so that other teams would have to ambush Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi to obtain them if they wanted to buy them.

However, just as Hatake Kakashi was about to do so, the Konoha Chunin disappeared before Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi's eyes. Clearly, Hatake Kakashi's actions were against the rules, ultimately forcing him to abandon his plan and continue tracking down the remaining Konoha Chunin Hatake Kakashi Uchiha Yue.

After Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi successfully purchased their first ingredient, Sarutobi Danzō slowly appeared before them. Seeing that Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi had already finished buying the ingredients, Sarutobi Danzō smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, Tsuki-kun, Kakashi- kun, I held you back."

"Since we're comrades, there's no need for such words."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue gently shook her head and said, "Let's continue!"

"Good!"

Then, under the insight of Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue and the others quickly purchased most of the materials and ingredients on the list. However, just as Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Danzō were about to finish purchasing the remaining ingredients, Uchiha Yue frowned as he looked at the markings on the list and said, "Kakashi, Danzo, let's wait a moment. If I'm not mistaken, these ingredients and materials on the list are for the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams. So, we'll buy some more ingredients and materials in the village later to prepare for the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

"Yes, Yue is right. We should definitely buy more of the ingredients and materials on the list."

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Hatake Kakashi nodded heavily and turned to Sarutobi Danzō, saying, "Danzo, just go to the village and buy the items according to the list. Yue and I can handle things here. If you stay here, we'll have to worry about your safety, and the purchasing speed will be slower."

Okay. Alright.

Hearing Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Danzō, though somewhat reluctant, still went to Konoha and did as Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi instructed. However, not long after Sarutobi Danzō left, Uchiha Yue suddenly smiled at Hatake Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, someone is attacking us!"

"Interesting!"

At this moment, Hatake Kakashi's eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit as he asked, "How many people are there, and where are they?"

"Two squads of Kirigakure ninja!"

Using his Purple Eye to perceive the movements of the Kirigakure ninjas, Uchiha Yue first put the purchased materials and ingredients into his ninja tool bag, then gripped his Ghost Tiger tightly and said, "Two entire Kirigakure squads, it seems they're mainly targeting us. Kakashi, each of us will be responsible for one squad of Kirigakure ninjas! I think there are examiners hiding around us right now, so don't kill those Kirigakure guys, but let them know the price for targeting us!"

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Hatake Kakashi gave a calm reply and immediately launched an attack on the Kirigakure ninjas.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue used his Purple Eye to observe the Kirigakure, his gaze filled with a chilling intent. He already knew the other ninja villages were coming to target him, but he hadn't expected the Uchiha Yue Kirigakure to be the first to act so decisively. Then, watching the Kirigakure approach, Kirigakure Uchiha Yue, without hesitation, charged into the midst of their ranks!

"Falling Moon Style: Single Blade Slash!"

"Whoosh..."

The next second, Uchiha Yue appeared before a Kirigakure ninja, his Onitetsu ruthlessly severing the man's arm. Without his arm, the Kirigakure ninja was clearly incapacitated, losing not only his fighting ability but also his potential to become a skilled ninja. The other Kirigakure ninjas, clearly not expecting Uchiha Yue 'Uchiha Yue methods to be even more ruthless than theirs, then looked at him with cold eyes, preparing to retaliate in the same way.

However, those ninjas from Kirigakure were all Genin- level ninjas; how could they possibly be a match for Uchiha Yue?

Seeing those Kirigakure ninja coming to their deaths, a cold smile crept onto Uchiha Yue's lips as he whispered:

"You've got a way out of the good times, but you're barging into hell!"

"Perfect timing, it's been a long time since Onitetsu drank blood!"

"Today, I will grant Onitetsu a taste of meat!"
